Dolly Pops [New]

Dolly Pops was produced by Knickerbocker from 1979 to 1982. They were a series of flat-backed, hard plastic doll with pop-on/pop-off plastic outfits. The 2-inch dolls were sold on their own, with carry-case playsets, and also larger playsets.

Starcastle [Updated]

Jul 25, 2017

I've just updated the Starcastle section with a new playset from the Tropical Collection (also newly added), as well as identifying the last unknown playset as belonging to this collection too.

I've just added three more charms to the Sweet Secrets section (two more Beauty Bows and one series two charm), plus several publicity images which show of the sets better than the old packaging images I had found (all with thanks to Pablo)!

I've just added six more ponies to the Little Beauties section. This includes two more Light-Up Ponies, two more Sunstreak Ponies and a new page for Wind-Up ponies, which I didn't know about! I've also added a packaging image of the Micro Ponies.

Sweet Secrets :: Small Playsets

"An adorable transformable world!"

Sweet Secrets were produced by Galoob from 1985 into the mid 1990's.
Later on, a few of Galoob's dolls and playsets were
released Blue Box. They started off as a series
of lockets which transformed into dolls and animals,
and as they grew in popularity Sweet Secrets became
more diverse, even expanded into playsets.

They were sold
in the US, UK and other parts of Europe, and I currently
know of one name variation:

Small Playsets

There were six different vanity themed playsets produced. They were first of all released in pink packaging with one of the three original charm dolls included inside. Then, when Galoob re-issued them in the white packaging, each came with a new doll with it's own name and colouring. When Blue Box took over, they re-issued them all placing one of their six second series doll charms inside.

Vanity Playets

Brush-Car Set

Comb-Bed Set

Mirror-Vanity Set

Fashion Playsets

Hairdryer-Patio Set

Picture Frame-Swimming Pool Set

Purse-Play Park Set

All six playsets were also sold by Blue Box, which were slightly different in colour from Galoob's second release sets, and came with a second series charm doll. Three sets were also made in completely different colours by Galoob with cosmetic charms rather than doll charms in 1988. See the Cosmetics page for more details.

Brush-Car Set

The first release Brush-Car set came with a non-specific original charm doll. The pink packaging shows a variation of sticker but I have as yet to confirm if the Italian version was sold like this.

Galoob 1st Release

The second release playset came with a new charm doll called "Flashie", not to be confused with the original "Flashee" (although she did have purple hair). I've found all three gem versions of her. The playset was completely different in colour and had different stickers on it too.

Galoob 2nd Release

Here is the second series cosmetics "Vanity Set" release, which came with a cat charm with blush inside.

Comb-Bed Set

The first release Brush-Car set came with a non-specific original charm doll.

Blue Box

Mirror-Vanity Set

The first release Mirror-Vanity set came with a non-specific original charm doll. It's not pictured on the second release packaging I've found so far, so may not have been sold again by Galoob (yet to confirm). The colour of the playset on the packaging is different to that in the publicity image, so there may have been two colour variations in the first issue release.

The second release playset came with a new charm doll that I have as yet to find out the name of. I've only found one version of her, but the one on the box makes two. The playset was different in colour from the first release and had different stickers inside too.

Galoob 2nd Release

The Hairdryer-Patio playset was also sold by Blue Box and came with "Crystal Bright" charm doll (aka Galoob's "Shimmer"). The main playset was made in the same colours as Glaoob's second release but had different stickers inside and yellow furniture and accessories like Galoob's first release.
